Is Industrial Monoculture the Real Path to Sustainable Farming?

Image credit: Amanda Friedman/ NRDC Some have been wondering whether Obama is really on the side of sustainable farming or industrial agriculture . Others, however, are busy wondering whether industrial agriculture really is sustainable farming after all. In a provocative piece written for the NRDC, one reporter argues that large-scale monoculture must be part of the solution to greener farming if we are to have any hope of digging out of the mess w… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Scraper Bikes: Saving Kids’ Lives and "Going Green in The ‘Hood"

Image: Know Your Meme Some time ago, we took at look at the “scraper bikes” sensation — customized, ‘tricked-out’ wheels which seem to be somewhere in between a flashy low-rider and a Burning Man-esque art bike — but with an important ecological and social mission in mind. What began as a local trend in a inner-city neighbourhood of Oakland, California has now spread to far-flung locales like Germany and Japan thanks to … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Eva Longoria is Bent Over in a Little Skirt of the Day

I don’t know how long this Desperate Housewives shit is going to go on for, but I do know that the ladies are starting to age in a pretty major way and that they should consider changing the name to Desperate Retirees. Lookin at these pictures of Eva Longoria, I can tell they had to strap this Mexican trying so hard to be white ditch pig up so tight that her ravaged married and sloppy ass still had the youthful perk. I’m talking the industrial sized SPANX to shape her in a way that wouldn’t make the average man forced to watch this shit because he is poor and only has one TV or is totally fucking owned by his wife and who does what she tells him because he traded in his balls for the married life years earlier, think to himself “she she really is a desperate housewife and now the one thing that was decent about this show and that allowed me to put up with watching the show has turned to shit like their tired fucking storyline”….. and here are the pics.

Trick or treat, mofo

Kate doesn’t let her kids celebrate Halloween because it’s against her religion, but, I don’t think anyone’s explained the concept of trick or treat to her. If she really knew her kids could get free stuff, wouldn’t she have them out there? If she did trick or treat I imagine she’d just carry a big box for cash only because it’s a little hard to shove four industrial washer and dryers, a $10 thousand dollar refrigerator and a boob job into her bag
